“…For a small case study in Spain Schmitz et al (2003) present a typology based on landscape types. As part of this typology the authors indicate the direction of change in landscape type as a result of changes in the social determinants of landscape categories for assumed scenario conditions.…”

Trajectories of land use change in Europe: a model-based exploration of rural futures

Land use change is characterized by a high diversity of change trajectories depending on the local conditions, regional context and external influences. Policy intervention aims to counteract the negative consequences of these changes and provide incentives for positive developments. Region typologies are a common tool to cluster regions with similar characteristics and possibly similar policy needs. This paper provides a typology of land use change in Europe at a high spatial resolution based on a series of different scenarios of land use change for the period 2000-2030. A series of simulation models ranging from the global to the landscape level are used to translate scenario conditions in terms of demographic, economic and policy change into changes in European land use pattern. A typology developed based on these simulation results identifies the main trajectories of change across Europe: agricultural abandonment, agricultural expansion and urbanization. The results are combined with common typologies of landscape and rurality. The findings indicate that the typologies based on current landscape and ruralities are poor indicators of the land use dynamics simulated for the regions. It is advocated that typologies based on (simulated) future dynamics of land change are more appropriate to identify regions with potentially similar policy needs.Keywords Typology Á Europe Á Land use and land cover change Á Abandonment Á Urbanization Á Rural typology Á Landscape Á Model

“…La relación directa entre el mantenimiento de la actividad agrícola y la fijación de la población es un hecho contrastado en multitud de trabajos (p.e., Tobarra y Martínez, 1998;Schmitz, 2003;Conti y Fagarazzi, 2004;Moreno, 2004). Esta relación, acentuada en el caso del olivar de montaña por su alta demanda de mano de obra (Gallardo y Ceña, 2004), permite considerar la variable propuesta como un proxy válido del atributo relativo a la fijación de la población rural.…”

RESUMEN:El concepto de multifuncionalidad agraria supone el reconocimiento de la provisión conjunta de bienes y servicios de tipo económico, social y medioambiental. Con el objeto de hacer operativo este concepto para el diseño de políticas públicas es necesario estimar la demanda social de estas funciones. En este contexto, el presente trabajo supone una aplicación empírica de esta idea teniendo como caso de estudio el olivar andaluz de montaña. La valoración económica de las funciones no comerciales más relevantes de este sistema agrario se ha llevado a cabo utilizando los experimentos de elección. Según los resultados obtenidos, existe una contribución al bienestar social de cada uno de los atributos analizados, siendo el mantenimiento de la población en el medio rural y la lucha contra la erosión los dos atributos mejor valorados, seguidos por la provisión de un paisaje de calidad y la seguridad alimentaria. Por úl-timo, estos mismos resultados evidencian igualmente cómo esta valoración es heterogénea, dependiendo de las características socioeconómicas de los individuos.

“…Previous research has described and mapped the 'visitor-landscape' correspondence in terms of 'demand' and 'offer' (Schmitz et al [15], De Aranzabal et al [10]) and the relationship between landscape and the socio-economic structure of the local population has also been studied, enabling simulation of change scenarios (Schmitz et al [16], De Aranzabal et al [17]). Other relationships are being researched, these focusing tourism within the context of the 'landscape resource' and of the local population.…”

Previous research has described and mapped the 'visitor-landscape' correspondence in terms of 'demand' and 'offer'. The relationship between the landscape and the socio-economic structure of the local population has also been studied, enabling us to create scenarios of change. Other relationships are being studied in order to provide an understanding both of the local population and of the tourism industry within the context of the 'landscape resource', in an attempt to produce results, both for this industry and for the sensible and sustainable management of the above mentioned resource.In the present paper we focus on the island of Fuerteventura (Canary Isles, Spain) and attempt to describe an assessment of the landscape by local populations -'local population-landscape' correspondence -and compare it with the perception of visitors -'visitors-landscape' correspondence. The results show a clear parallelism between the appreciation of the island's landscape by visitors and locals. The former consider the variable 'sun' to be essential in their appreciation of the landscape, this factor constituting the reason for their visit, whereas the latter value the landscape more highly than the visitors, taking it as something associated with the traditional rural world and as a reason to feel proud. This could be explained by means of a relaxed visit to the island from an anthropologist's perspective. A comparison between the 'assessment of the landscape by the local population' and 'landscape demand by visitors' can also be mapped, and could be better explained within the context of the research to which the present paper belongs.
